That nice man dave has said that it is "right to do much more"

[mikey4444]

How easy will it be for these "working mothers" to get child care, so that they can go out to work Naomi ? Child care costs so much these days, that its only when you have a well-paid job, that its worth going out to work.

Perhaps that nice man dave will provide some free child care ?

[naomi24]

Perhaps some of them can become child carers, thereby earning their own money. Then, having people to look after their children, the rest of them can work and earn their own money. Why must everything be free?

[ladybirder]

Good idea Naomi. That's exactly what my DiL did when she decided she didn't want to go back to work after having a baby.

[gness]

Mikey.....they may not want or expect free child care......women refugees have been organising themselves into little groups who look after the children while others clean lavatories and do menial tasks to thank cafe and restaurant owners who have given them food.....x

[mikey4444]

Gness ...yes, a good idea I think. But I am not sure if regulations will allow any of these refugees to work, at least in the early stages. But I am quite happy for anybody to prove me wrong on that.

[gness]

You're correct I think, Mikey....my point really was that they're not necessarily the free loaders so many appear to think they are.....or profess to know that they are.....x

[SirOracle]

Yes Askyourgran , Nicola wants to take in 1,000 to Scotland ,for starters.

Do try to keep up to date.

[naomi24]

As I understand it asylum seekers are not allowed to work, but if these women are being brought here I assume that they will not be required to claim asylum in the usual way. Therefore, they will be free to work.

[Baldric]

Does this make Mandy a 'nice man' as well Mikey?

Do I feel sorry for these people? yes I do, I also feel sorry for the people that ;lost their houses due to the bedroom Tax, I also feel sorry for the persons that have to rely on food banks, I also feel for the Ex Sqad's that get *** on after serving this so Called UK, Oh, I forgot to say about the poor Patients that line up in our hospitals waiting for treatment, LOOK AFTER YOUR OWN D.C.

[mikey4444]

Gness...100% correct at 09:41 ! To repeat, like dave said yesterday, it is right to do more.

[naomi24]

Mikey, I’m not sure gness is 100% right. I don’t know anyone who professes to ‘know’ that these people are all freeloaders.

[-Talbot-]

my point really was that they're not necessarily the free loaders so many appear to think they are


Using the words 'not necessarily' means that gness is not 100% sure.

[anotheoldgit]

Not a moan from some, regarding Dave's promise to cut the immigration figures.

Are the Left finally happy now?

It would seem so, since if it was left to them, more and more would be accepted.

One could say, a leopard never changes it's spots.

[Svejk]

It was only a week or two ago they wouldn't shut up about Dave letting too many in.
Anything to take people's minds off their hilarious leadership battle, eh.

[anotheoldgit]

What some are conveniently forgetting is the fact that these newcomers, will follow a faith which is alien to our beliefs, customs, and heritage.

These guests will demand certain privileges not open to the indigenous population of this country, such as special considerations on their visits to health services, swimming facilities etc, etc.

[Bazile]

Don't worry - all those reaching the age of 18 will be deported

[dave50]

Why are there people in this country collecting food and clothing for the economic migrants waiting in Calais? They haven't been fleeing a war zone, they are trying to force their way into the UK to take advantage of our welfare and NHS. So many people in this country are suckers for any sob story. Idiots.

[gness]

Naomi....you may not "know" of anyone......but you can't deny that you know of some....x

[Svejk]

They could be in for a nasty dose of reality, dave. Criminal gangs have been attacking and robbing charidee workers in Calais.
